SSC Selection Post 2021 Question Paper (09-Feb-2022) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Kaveri

The correct answer is Kaveri.

Most of them originate in the Western Ghats and flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal (e.g., Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri). A few originate in central India and flow westward into the Arabian Sea (e.g., Narmada, Tapi). Understanding the cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) is crucial for analyzing geographical coordinates like latitude and longitude in relation to features such as rivers. Longitude lines help us measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
